General Information

Paint/Flush Lever

To prevent paint system pressure spikes, the paint/flush
lever should normally be in either the paint mode or the
flush mode. It is recommended to use the OFF position
only when the engine is not running.
If the paint filter is to be cleaned and paint is in the paint
tank, turn the paint/flush lever to OFF (engine not run-
ning) to prevent paint leakage.

Quick Disconnect Fittings

The Line Painter 1200 uses several quick disconnect fit-
tings that provide excellent sealing and allow easy dis-
assembly. To remove a hose from a quick disconnect
fitting, push the release collar in toward the fitting and
then pull the hose from the fitting. To install a hose into
a quick disconnect fitting, fully push the hose into the col-
lar. Pull lightly on the hose to make sure it is secured in
the fitting.
If the end of the tubing is scratched, deformed or not cut
squarely, the fitting seal will not be effective and leakage
will occur.

Thread Sealant for Paint System Fittings

Many fittings used in the Line Painter 1200 paint system
have a sealant patch applied to the fitting threads. If a
fitting is being replaced and a sealant patch is evident on
the threads of the new fitting, there is no need to apply
additional thread sealant before installation.
If a fitting has been removed, however, the sealant patch
may not allow a leak–free seal if the fitting is re–installed.
If a fitting is to be re–installed, apply Saf–T–Lok brand
